the rumor was without foundation.

be talked about, he would take care
that no idle remarks should reach the
ears Of his fance. Conseq uently,
after that evenings performance was
over he begged Miss Carey TO sgree to
an immediate marriage, instead OF at
the end OF the feason, as was their
original intention.
